Blogging from New York on Cuba

An institution known for excellence

Cuba’s flagship institution of higher learning was rated as excellent in the evaluation process carried out, this past October, by the National Accreditation Board (JAN). The accomplishment filled professors, workers and students alike with great pride, for good reason, since this is the first time a university in the country has been awarded the highest ranking.

The University of Havana (UH) leads the nation in scientific production, as evidenced by the fact that, in 2015, staff members received 21 prizes from the Academy of Sciences for their work, and in 2014, the number was 23.
